lutroduction
This second list of the names of fishes of
the United States and Canada is not sim-
ply a reprinting with corrections, but con-
stitutes a major revision and enlargement.
The earlier list, published in 1948 as Special
Publication No. 1 of the American Fisheries
Society, has been widely used and has
contributed substantially toward its goal of
achieving uniformity and avoiding confusion
in nomenclature. Of the 570 names on that
list, 560 are retained in the present version.
The 10 removed have since proved to be
synonyms of other included species, or are
extralimital. In the preparation of the first
list, the Committee made arbitrary decisions
as to what species should be included as
"better known fishes." As interest in fishes
expands, it becomes increasingly difficult to
determine when a given species merits an
approved vernacular or common name. The
present Committee has avoided this decision
by attempting to include common names for
all native and successfully introduced species
in the region of coverage. Except for possi-
ble errors of oversight, the chief failure to
realize complete listing involves small, rare,
and poorly -kno^vn forms near the periphery
of our area: Bering Sea, deepwater fishes
that occasionally are found over the conti-
nental shelf, and Caribbean species that
sporadically invade southern Florida. As
knowledge of such forms increases they may
be added in subsequent revisions. This list
includes 1892 entries, more than a threefold
increase. We make no apology for the greater
length, believing that these small, less well-
known fishes have real or potential impor-
tance as laboratory experimental animals,
in public or private aquaria, for bait, or,
most often, simply as objects of natural-
history inquiry or aesthetic appeal. The plan
of organization and indexing are such that
the inclusion of the lesser fishes need not
interfere with use by those not concerned
with them.
Area of Coverage
The present fist purports to include all
species of fishes known from the fresh waters
of the continental United States and Can-
ada, and those marine species inhabiting
contiguous shore waters on or above the
continental shelf, to a depth of 100 fathoms.
The shore fishes from Greenland, eastern
Canada and the United States, and the
northern Gulf of Mexico to the mouth of
the Rio Grande are included, but those
from Iceland, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Cuba
and the other West Indian islands, and
Mexico are excluded unless they occur also
in the region covered. In the Pacific, the
area treated includes that part of the conti-
nental shelf from the Mexican-United States
boundary to Bering Strait. The Arctic shore
waters of Alaska and Canada are included.
Hawaii, with a large and strikingly different
Indo-Pacific fish fauna, is excluded. Deep-
sea fishes, whether benthic or bathypelagic,
are excluded unless they appear also within
the 100-fathom isobath. In practice this line
of distinction is difficult to apply, and
becomes arbitrary to that extent. Pelagic
fishes that enter waters over the continental
shelf are included. The fist provides a
general guide to distribution: "A" denotes
Atlantic Ocean but includes the eastern
Arctic, "P" refers to Pacific Ocean and
includes the western Arctic, and "F" indi-
cates occurrence in fresh water. Appropriate
combinations of letters are used for those
fishes that live, either naturally or by intro-
duction, in more than one of these regions.
Common Names
The Committee aims at the development
of a body of common names that reflect
broad current usage, the creation of a
richer, more meaningful and colorful vernac-
ular nomenclature, and the promotion of
mechanisms that will add to stability and
the universality of names applied to Ameri-
can fishes.
The common name as here employed is
viewed as a formal, usually anglicized
appellation to be used in lieu of the Latin-
ized scientific name of a species. It is hoped,
and the history of the recent past confirms,
that common names may be more stable
than scientific names. Certainly they should
be more readily adaptable to lay uses than
scientific names. There is clear need for
standardization and uniformity in vernac-
ular names not only for sport or commercial
fishes, but as trade names, for aquarium
fishes, in legal terminology, and as substi-
tutes for scientific names of almost any fish
AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY
in popular or scientific writing. The Com-
mittee believes that it is desirable to estab-
lish a common name for each species of fish
occurring naturally or through successful
introduction in the waters of English-
speaking North America.
Agreement on many names may be
arrived at quickly, but others are attended
by complications and marked disagreement
develops. This is especially true of fish
known by market names that differ from
those names that are more familiar to sport
fishermen, biologists or others. The exist-
ence for a single species of different names
in separate parts of its geographic range
creates difficulties that seem soluble only
through arbitration. Conversely a given
name may be employed in several places for
diverse species. Although committee action
on such situations may not be expected to
change local use quickly, at least it seems
plainly improper to sanction use of one
name for two or more different species.
After wrestling with common names for
over twenty years, the Committee on Names
of Fishes realized the importance of estab-
lishing a set of guiding principles to be
employed in the determination of names.
Such a code permits a more objective ap-
praisal of the relative merits among several
names than if selection is based primarily
on personal experience and preference.
Consideration of many vernacular names of
fishes makes it apparent that few principles
can be established for which some exceptions
must not be admitted. This is true because
at this late date a majority of our larger and
more abundant, hence important, species
have such firmly established common names
that it would be unrealistic to reject them.
Decision on the name for a species may
often be decided by weighing the pros and
cons among the possible alternatives and
selecting that one which best fits the aggre-
gate of guiding criteria.
In the introduction to the earlier list of
names a number of rules of procedure were
itemized. Recently the Committee incorpo-
rated these into the following statement of
criteria that it regards as appropriate to the
selection of common names of fishes.
Principles Governing Selection
OF Common Names^
1. A single vernacular name shall he accepted
for each species or taxonomic unit included. —
' First printed in 1955 (Trans. Am. Fish. Soc, Vol. 84 [1954]
pp. 368-371).
In the present fist only two fishes have two
approved names : redfish and ocean perch for
Sebastes marinus; cisco and lake herring for
Coregonus artedii.
2. No two species on the list shall have the
same approved name.
3. The expression ''common" as part of a
fish's name shall be avoided wherever possible.
4. Simplicity in names is favored. — Hyphens,
suffixes, and apostrophes shall be omitted
(e.g., smallmouth bass) except where they
are orthographically essential (e.g., three-
eye flounder), have a special meaning
(e.g., C-0 sole), or are necessary to avoid
possible misunderstanding (e.g., cusk-eel).
Compounded modifying words, including
paired structures, should usually be treated
as singular nouns in apposition with a
group name (e.g., spottail shiner, soupfin
shark), but a plural modifier should usually
be placed in adjectival form (e.g., black-
banded sunfish, spotted hake). Preference
shall be given to names that are short and
euphonious.
The compounding of brief, familiar words
into a single name, written without hyphen,
may in some cases promote clarity and sim-
pUcity (e.g., tomcod, goldfish, mudminnow),
but the wholesale practice of combining
words, especially those that are lengthy,
awkward, or unfamiliar, is deplored.
5. Common names shall not be capitalized in
text use except for those elements that are
proper names (e.g., rainbow trout but
Sacramento perch).
6. Names intended to honor persons (e.g.,
Allison's tuna, Julia's darter) are not admis-
sible.
7. Only clearly defined and well-marked
taxonomic entities (usually species) shall be
assigned common names. — Most subspecies
are not suitable subjects for common names,
but those forms that are so different in
appearance (not just in geographic distribu-
tion) as to be distinguished readily by sport
or commercial fishermen or laymen or for
which a common name constitutes a signifi-
cant aid in communication may merit sepa-
rate names. Subspecies have importance in
evolutionary inquiry but are rarely of
significance to laymen or in those aspects of
biological endeavor in which common names
are of concern. The practice of adding
geographic modifiers to designate regional
NAMES OF FISHES
populations makes for a cumbersome termi-
nology.
8. The common name shall not be intimately
tied to the scientific name. — Thus the vagaries
of scientific nomenclature do not entail
constant changing of common names. The
practice of applying a name to each genus,
a modifying name for each species, and still
another modifier for each subspecies, while
appeaUng in its simplicity, has the defect of
inflexibihty. If a fish is transferred from
genus to genus, or shifted from species to
subspecies or vice versa, the common name
should nevertheless remain unaffected. It is
not a primary function of common names to
indicate relationship. When two or more
taxonomic groups (e.g., nominal species) are
found to be identical, one name shall be
adopted for the combined group.
This principle is regarded not only as
fundamental to the achievement of sta-
bility, but as essential to the development
of a true vernacular nomenclature.
9. Names shall not violate the tenets of good
taste.
The preceding principles are largely in the
nature of procedural dicta. Those given
below are criteria that are regarded as aids
in the selection of suitable names.
10. Colorful, romantic, fanciful, metaphorical,
and otherwise distinctive and original names
are especially appropriate. — Such terminol-
ogy adds to the richness and breadth of the
nomenclature and yields a harvest of satis-
faction to the user. Examples of such names
include: Dolly Varden, madtom, hogchoker,
garibaldi, pumpkinseed, flier, angelfish, mid-
shipman, and chilipepper.
11. American Indian names are welcome for
adoption as common names. — Those in cur-
rent use include muskellunge, eulachon,
mummichog, chinook, tautog, menhaden,
and Cisco.
12. Regardless of origin, truly vernacular
names that are widespread and in common
use by the public are to be retained wherever
possible. — In addition to aboriginal names,
many now well-known names of American
fishes have been derived from non-Enghsh-
speaking fishermen of foreign extraction:
barracuda, cero, grouper, pompano (Span-
ish); bocaccio (Italian); capelin, inconnu
(French). Although too httle genuine origi-
nality is evident, many excellent names have
been developed by American immigrants.
Most of these conform to principles 14 and
15 below.
13. Commonly employed names adopted from
traditional English usage (e.g., cod, pike,
sole, flounder, bass, perch, chub, minnow)
may be given considerable latitude in taxono-
mic placement. — Adherence to customary
English practice is to be preferred if this
does not conflict with the broad general use
of another name. Many English names,
however, have been applied to similar
appearing but often distantly related fishes
in America. We find perch in use for repre-
sentatives of at least 9 famihes of spiny-
rayed fishes. Chub appears in such diverse
groups as the Salmonidae, Cyprinidae, and
Kyphosidae. The ocean whitefish (Caulola-
tilus princeps) is not a salmonid and the
blue pike (Stizostedion vitreum glaucum) is
remote from the Esocidae, yet each is best
known to fishermen throughout its range by
the name indicated. For widely-known
species the Committee believes it preferable
to recognize general use than to engage in a
probably futile effort to gain the general
adoption of bookish or pedantic substitutes.
Thus, estabhshed practice should outweigh
consistency with original English usage.
14. Structural attributes, including color and
color pattern, are desirable and are in common
use in forming womes.— Sailfin, flathead,
slippery, giant, mottled, copper, tripletail,
and a multitude of others decorate fish
names. Efforts should be made to select
terms that are descriptively accurate, and
to hold repetition of those most frequently
employed (e.g., white, black, spotted,
banded) to a minimum.
15. Ecological characteristics are useful in
making good names. — They too should be
properly descriptive. Terms such as sand,
rock, lake, riffle, freshwater and mountain
are well known in fish names.
16. Geographic distribution provides suitable
adjectival modifiers. — Poorly descriptive or
misleading geographic characterizations
(e.g., Kentucky bass for a wide-ranging
species) should be corrected unless they are
too deeply entrenched in current usage. In
the interest of brevity it is usually possible
to delete words such as lake, river, or ocean
in the names of species (e.g., Colorado squaw-
fish, not Colorado River squawfish).
17. Generic names may be employed outright
(e.g., remora) or in modified form (e.g.,
AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY
molly, from Mollienesia) as common names. —
Once adopted such names should be main-
tained even if the generic name is changed.
These vernaculars should be written in
Roman and without capitalization. Brevity
and euphony are of especial importance for
names of this type, which will probably be
adopted most often for aquarium fishes or
other smaller and little-known kinds that do
not already have a well-established vernacu-
lar nomenclature.
18. The duplication of common names for
fishes and other organisms should be avoided if
possible, but names in wide general use need
not be rejected on this basis alone. — The name
dolphin is commonly applied to certain
cetaceans and also to Coryphaena hippurus.
Similarly, buffalo is employed for various
artiodactyls and for suckers of the genus
Ictiobus. On the basis of prevailing use these
names are admissible as fish names.
19. Names that appear on official lists of
names of fishes prepared by other agencies
shall be preferred.
Plan of List
The list is presented as a natural or phy-
letic sequence of families of fishes, with the
species of each family alphabetized to ge-
neric and specific names. In order to facili-
tate use the three classes of recent fishes
(Agnatha — jawless fishes, Chondrichthyes —
cartilaginous fishes, and Osteichthyes — bony
fishes) and the orders are indicated. For the
latter, the ordinal names of the Goodrich
system (formes endings) are given first, fol-
lowed, in parentheses, by equivalent names
employed by Regan, Jordan, Romer or
others. Both common and technical names
of families (idae endings) are given. Within
families the sequence is alphabetical to scien-
tific name; the occasional disadvantage of
separating closely related forms within a
family is regarded as more than offset by
the greater ease in use.
An innovation in this edition is the inclu-
sion of authorities for scientific names. These
are commonly needed by fishery workers,
who may not have ready access to the
necessary references. In any event their
appearance here in a single cover is a great
convenience. Care has been taken to prevent
errors in author's names; usage here reflects
current interpretation of the International
Rules on Zoological Nomenclature. In line
with those rules, the author's name(s) fol-
lows the specific name directly and without
punctuation if the species, when originally
described, was assigned to the same genus
in which it appears here; if the species was
described in another genus, the author's
name(s) appears in parentheses. For exam-
ple, the brook trout was originally named
Salmo fontinalis bj'' Mitchill ; it appears here
as Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill).
In preparation of the list hundreds of de-
cisions had to be made that involved inter-
pretation of rules of nomenclature, system-
atic status and limits of species, genera, and
families, occurrence within the prescribed
region, and other problems. Four times in
six years it has been possible for a majority
of the committee members to gather around
a table and attack these problems together.
The resultant interchange of ideas and in-
formation, extended by circulation of dozens
of work lists, has made possible striking con-
cordance on what started as areas of dis-
agreement. There remain, to be sure, many
differences of opinion, but there has been a
broadened area of understanding and a
spirit of good humor and willingness to
compromise difficulties. Decisions have been
made by majority opinion of the Committee.
Thus, no committee member subscribes to
all decisions reached. In many places, in-
formation available to the Committee ex-
ceeded that in the current literature. In
general it has been our policy to withhold
making such changes here, although we have
made some considered exceptions, especially
when the new data will appear shortly.
Indices
The main list. Part I, appears on pages 6
to 50; there follow indices, Part II, to com-
mon names (pages 51 to 75) and. Part III,
to scientific names (pages 76 to 102). The
index to common names gives page refer-
ences to approved common names of classes,
famihes, and species. A single entry is in-
cluded for each species; for example, Salmo
gairdneri is entered only under "trout, rain-
bow." In addition to approved names, the
index includes also other names that are in
wide use followed by the equivalent ap-
proved name. There are a great many
vernacular names of American fishes, and
extensive search would be necessary to as-
semble even a large fraction of them. This
the Committee has not attempted to do, but
most of the more widely used names are
included.
The index to scientific names gives page
references to the names here entered for
NAMES OF FISHES
classes, orders, families, genera, and species.
Each species is entered only under its spe-
cific name. For example, the bluegill may
be located under "macrochirus, Lepomis"
but not under Lepomis niacrochirus, al-
though an entry for Lepomis directs the
reader to the proper page. Scientific names
that are not accepted in this list are excluded
except for those that appeared in the first
edition and have since been placed in
synonymy.

In 1951 the American Fisheries Society
approved a plan whereby the Committee on
Names of Fishes of that Society would
serve jointly as a Committee on Common
Names of Fishes in the American Society of
Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. The pres-
ident of the ASIH formally appointed the
Committee. Since that time this arrange-
ment has worked smoothly. All personnel
on the Committee are members of both
societies and the formulation of this list, it
is believed, serves common interests. An-
nual meetings of the ASIH have provided a
convenient opportunity to assemble the joint
committee to attack problems in the prepa-
ration of this list. The plan is mutually ad-
vantageous, and we hope it may continue.

sistance in the publication of this list pro-
